The Chairman of the UN General Assembly recalled the binding nature of Security Council resolutions.

Countries are obliged to implement UN Security Council resolutions – they have the force of law,  the Chairman of the UN General Assembly session, Danny Francis,  said  at a press conference.

⠀

Earlier, US Permanent Representative to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield, speaking about the resolution demanding a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, said that it has no binding force.

⠀

“UNSC resolutions have the force of law and all member countries are required to implement UNSC resolutions,” Francis said.

⠀
However, he recalled that there are a number of resolutions adopted by the Security Council that are not being implemented.
